Lab Blood Testing
In most cases, blood tests are performed at specific times. Research has shown that laboratory blood tests are also important for pharmacogenomics, where studies on blood samples aid in investigating the effects of medications on genes and other genetic factors.
Preparation for Lab Blood Tests
* Consult with your doctor for instructions on how to prepare for the test.
* In some cases, tests may need to be repeated multiple times and require precise timing.
* Fasting may be required in some cases.
Applications of Lab Blood Testing
Beyond clinical diagnosis, lab blood testing has applications in other fields:
Genetics:
* Establishing paternity
* Determining susceptibility to hereditary diseases
* Analyzing genetic markers to provide valuable information
Forensics:
* Identifying suspects and victims
* Detecting blood components not normally present
